Question
My child has had a cold for five days, and I’m thinking of taking them to a swimming pool with warm water. Is that okay?
Answer
It’s best for children to rest more when they have a cold, and it’s not recommended to go swimming in a pool. The water temperature might not be suitable and could worsen the condition; at the same time, swimming can lead to overexertion, which may further exacerbate the illness or cause fever. Therefore, it’s important to rest more, drink plenty of water, and take good care of their body.
